Crofton Family to Sue School System
The parents of Christopher Jones, the 14-year-old boy killed while riding his bike in Crofton, announced that they will be filing a lawsuit against Anne Arundel County Public Schools within two weeks.
The basis of the suit is that the family — and their attorneys — feel that the school system did not do enough to protect Christopher from bullies. His death occurred back in May, a few weeks after he was transferred from Arundel High to South River High in response to the bullying he endured.
The school system will not comment on the suit but says that they have strengthened its policy against bullying.
You can help shape policy further by taking this survey.
In other news, one of the two teens that attached Christopher plead guilty to manslaughter yesterday.
